This article considers how Christianity contributes to the appearance of cognitive disability in Uganda, a country with some of the most progressive disability policies in the world but little in the way of formal care and advocacy for cognitively disabled people. As a point of departure, the article invokes Hannah Arendt’s notion of appearance as a way to thematize the importance of public display in Ugandan social life, as well as the challenge that people with evidently profound disabilities pose to Ugandan social aesthetics. It first traces how cognitive disability disappears under the liberal logics that organize Uganda’s secular disability laws and activism, and then compares the ways that Catholic and Pentecostal efforts sustain the appearance of cognitive disability, in light of their theological differences and their common paternalism. Even as Christian paternalism in the face of cognitive disability may prove repugnant to a liberal vision of disability politics, I argue that it sustains a form of disability appearance otherwise not possible in Uganda.

乌干达的残障和基督教现象

本文考虑了基督教如何促进乌干达认知障碍的出现。乌干达拥有世界上一些最先进的残疾政策，但对认知障碍者的正规护理和倡导却很少。作为出发点，本文引用了汉娜·阿伦特（Hannah Arendt）的外表概念，以主题化公开展示在乌干达社会生活中的重要性，以及残障人士对乌干达社会美学的明显挑战。它首先追踪在组织乌干达世俗残疾法律和行动主义的自由主义逻辑下认知残疾如何消失，然后根据其神学差异和共同的家长式作风，比较天主教和五旬节努力维持认知残疾的方式。即使面对认知残疾的基督教家长式作风可能被证明与对残疾政治的自由主义看法相抵触，我还是认为它维持了某种形式的残疾现象，否则在乌干达是不可能的。Bufunze Ekiwandiiko kino kilagira ddala bulungi，nga obukristaayo bwe bwewaddeyo ennyo ku nsonga etekwatiddwa bulungi ey'endabika y'abantu abalina obulemu mu butesobola nga buva ku bwongo nga bali mu Uba Eggwanga erya乌干达lirina enkola ennungi mu byokwezza obuggya ku nsonga y'abantu abo munsi yonna。Wabula ate kinakuwaza nnyo，nti libulamu nnyo enkola ennungamu mu ngeri y'okuwagira endabirira esaanidde abantu abo，mu mbeera zaabwe zonna okutwalira awamu。Ekiwandiiko kino okwawukana ku bya bulijjo ebirala byonna，kikoona butereevu ku ndowooza ya Hannah Arendt，时代nga kirina n'okulaga okusomooza okuleteddwaawo obutafa bulungi ku bantu abo mu mbeera zaabwe mu ggwanga lyonna。Ekiwandiiko kisookera ddala n'okulaga engeri y'okufaayo ku nsonga eyo bwe kigenda kisaanirawo ddala nga kino kiyita mu kwekkiriranya abantu kwe batambuliramu ng'abakweyambisa，nga bakola awaebakaewaawab waabawab waabawab waabakaawab twongerako netukigeerageeranya n'ekyo ekikolebwa abakatuliki n'aba Pentekooti ku nsonga eyo yemu mu kuyimirizaawo endabika entuufu eyandisaanidde ku bantu abo abalina obulemu bwobutesobola。Naye ate olwokuberawo enjawukana z'e byeddini wakati waabo bombi，nekitasobola kutambula bulungi，nga kino kiva mu kugaaana okukolera awamu nga abantu abali ku mulimu ogumu。Ekisinga obukulu nga kyekireeeta obutakkanya obwo kyangu okulaba。羽衣甘蓝obutasobola kukolera wamu olw'obukulu bwensonga eyo，nakyo kiyinza okuva ku bukyaayi okwesigamizidddd ku kwolesebwa okulina obulemu mu bwongo，mu nfuga yaabwo egobererwa。Ekyo ne kiyimirizaawo endabika eyobulemu obutesobola时代nga nayo tesoboka mu乌干达kukolebwako。
